When you put on one of these patches, nicotine passes through the skin and into your body. The patches are very thin and use special material to control how fast nicotine passes through the skin. Unlike sudden jolts of nicotine delivered by cigarettes, the amount of nicotine you receive remains relatively smooth throughout the 24 or 16 hour period you wear the patch. This helps to reduce cravings you may have for nicotine.
